1 My invention as described herein, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, consists of a metal watch band, an object of which is to provide a wrist band so formed as to accommodate watches of any size.

Another objectof my invention is toprovide in a watch wrist band slidable and removable clips.

A further object of this invention is to provide a solid metal wrist band having clips disconnectably held thereon which are adapted to receive,

retain and lock securely a watch of any size to the band.

Other features and advantages will become more readily apparent from the following description and the accompanying illustrative drawings in which: l

Figure 1 is a plan view of the band having a watch attached thereto, i

Figure 2 is a sectional view on line 2--2 of Figure 1, the Watch being removed,

Figure 3 is an end elevational View thereof,

Figure 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Figure 3,

Figure 5 is a sectional view on line 55 of Figure 2, and T Figure 6 is a detail plan view of a spacer member. l 1

In the accompanying drawings, and in the following specifications, the samereference characters are used to designate the same parts and elements throughout and in which l0, refers to my invention in its entirety and II, indicates a metal wrist band having a fiat upper portion 12 ends 29 and 30, which are welded to the said.

band. Seated upon the outer surfaces of walls l4 and I5, and fixed thereto are spacer members 3| and 32, for the purpose of holding said outer ends 20 and 2|, slightly raised from the outer surface 33, of the said band. The said fiat ends l8 and I9 are provided with centrally disposed slots into which tits 34, on the inner surface of said portions I8 and I9, are adapted to move in the slots, whereby the said clips are maintained in true alignment with the said band ll, while the spa-cermembers are disposed within inturned edges of said top walls 21 and 28 indicated to advantage in Figure 5.

The said clips 20 and? I, are preferably formed of spring metal whereby the clips will be held 2 Claims. (01. 224-4) clamped upon the band ll, after being attached to the said pins 24 and 25. As the clips are not fixed they are readily adjustable to watch cases of, various lengths and a watch may be readily disconnected from the band simply by lifting the rolled hooks 22 and 23, out of engagement with the pins 24 and 25.

It is thought that persons skilled in the art to which the invention relates will be able to obtain a clear understanding of the invention after 0011-.

sidering the description in connection with the drawings. Therefore, a more lengthy description is regarded as unnecessary.

Changes in shape, size and rearrangement of details and parts such as come within\ the purview of the invention claimed may be resorted to, in actual practice, if desired.

Having now described my invention that which I claim as new and desire to procure by Letters Patent is:

1. A device of the character described including a wristband having a flat center surface and resilient arcuate side members to graps the wrist, similarly arcuate pocket members substantially closed at the outer ends and rigidly and longitudinally secured on the exterior of said side members, resilient arcuate straps slidably mounted in said pocket members, inwardly disposed hooks on the adjacent ends of said straps and yieldably supported adjacent said side members on each side of said fiat center surface.

2. A device of the character described including a wrist band having a flat center surface and resilient arcuate side members to grasp the wrist, similarly arcuate pocket members substantially closed at the outer ends and rigidly and longitudinally secured on the exterior of said side members. resilient arcuate straps slidably mounted in said pocket members, inwardly disposed hooks on the adjacent ends of said straps and yieldably supported adjacent said side members on each side of said fiat center surface, said resilient straps and pockets having aligned longitudinally disposed deformations whereby the straps are yieldably urged into longitudinal alignment.
